Dravid's emotional reaction, thrusting his bat towards the commen- tator's box. was a true reflection of his achievement, and of course the sense of con- quering one of the best attacks in the world. It was one of the greatest Test matches. The intensity was evi- dent on all the days and the feature of India's recovery was that it was Laxman (above) punishes Mark Waugh, while Rahul Dravid (right) despatches w Shane Warne.

The failure of Sachin Tendulkar weighed heavily on the Indian dressing room, but the form of Laxman was a con- stant source of encouragement. When Tendulkar was dismissed in the second innings. India seemed to be staring at certain defeat, but then Laxman and Ganguly launched the resistance. This was followed by the matchwin- ning partnership between Laxman and Rahul Dravid. The Australians, always so professional, ran out of ideas as the Indian pair compiled a partnership of 3 76 runs. "We knew we had to bat long. We kept talking to each other and what kept us going was the tremendous sup- port from the spectators," remarked Laxman. For Dravid. it was an innings which took a lot of load off his mind. He did not mind conceding the number three spot to Laxman. "I feel happy that he grabbed the opportunity," Dravid said nary in this match. The collective effort by the Indians was what stood out. The close-in catch- ing was outstanding and as Ganguly insisted, it was a team effort. "It was such a shame that we were written off after just one Test. To be taken apart by our own countrymen hurt a lot. The victory had two lessons. First to never give up and second to never write anybody off." Steve Waugh took a balanced view of the defeat. "Of the 16 we won, we did come under pressure in a few. This was not a new experience for us of facing pressure. Once India had a lead of 300 it was in the box seat." Steve Waugh made no excuses. "In the last two hours we looked pretty ordinary. There was nothing wrong with the pitch and you would expect the ball to turn on the fifth day of a Test match. It was a very good Test pitch. It's not end of the world. Life scripted by two youngsters who had been struggling goes on," said Steve Waugh, disappointment written to convince the people who matter that they had the large on his face. potential.

The huge first-innings deficit that India conced- ed did not take away the spirit to fight from a bunch which had vowed to make a collective charge. S. Ramesh came good in the second innings even as Shiv Sundar Das got out after promising a long innings on both his visits to the middle. Das, of course, shone as a close-in fielder. Tendulkar's failure as batsman was a blow, but then he assumed the role of a spinner at the right time. His crucial strikes shattered the Australian hopes in the last session of the match. "It was great," remarked Tendulkar as he finished with three wick- ets. Ironically, it was Ganguly's move to bring Tendulkar into the attack at Mumbai that had invited criticism for the Indian skipper. Here, it became a master stroke. The Australians certainly pan- icked on the last day when the ball was turning enough to test their footwork. Their obsession with the sweep to deal with the turning ball did not help and a couple of poor strokes hastened the Australian end. "We knew they would crack under pressure," said Ganguly and cred- it to him for not easing the pressure on the opposition at any time.

  • Beware Milestones
    DECIDE: How to Manage the Risk in Your Decision Making Beware milestones Having convinced you to improve your measurement of what really matters in your organisation so that you can make better decisions, I must provide a word of caution. Sometimes when we introduce new measures we actually hurt decision making. Take the effect that milestones have on people. Milestones as the name infers are solid markers of progress on a journey. You have either made the milestone or you have fallen short. There is no better example of the effect of milestones on decision making than from sport. Take the game of cricket. If you don’t know cricket all you need to focus in on is one number, 100. That number represents a century of runs by a batsman in one innings and is a massive milestone. Careers are judged on the number of centuries a batsman scores. A batsman plays the game to score runs by hitting a ball sent toward him at varying speeds of up to 100.2 miles per hour (161.3 kilometres per hour) by a bowler from 22 yards (20 metres) away. The 100.2 mph delivery, officially the fastest ball ever recorded, was delivered by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan. Shoaib was nicknamed the Rawalpindi Express! Needless to say, scoring runs is not dead easy. A great batting average in cricket at the highest levels is 40 plus and you are among the elite when you have an average over 50. Then there is Australia’s great Don Bradman who had an average of 99.94 with his next nearest rivals being South Africa’s Graeme Pollock with 60.97 and England’s Herb Sutcliffe with 60.63.

  • Cobbling Together the Dream Indian Eleven
    COBBLING TOGETHER THE DREAM INDIAN ELEVEN Whenever the five selectors, often dubbed as the five wise men with the onerous responsibility of cobbling together the best players comprising India’s test cricket team, sit together to pick the team they feel the heat of the country’s collective gaze resting on them. Choosing India’s cricket team is one of the most difficult tasks as the final squad is subjected to intense scrutiny by anybody and everybody. Generally the point veers round to questions such as why batsman A was not picked or bowler B was dropped from the team. That also makes it a very pleasurable hobby for followers of the game who have their own views as to who should make the final 15 or 16 when the team is preparing to leave our shores on an away visit or gearing up to face an opposition on a tour of our country. Arm chair critics apart, sports writers find it an enjoyable professional duty when they sit down to select their own team as newspapers speculate on the composition of the squad pointing out why somebody should be in the team at the expense of another. The reports generally appear on the sports pages on the morning of the team selection. This has been a hobby with this writer for over four decades now and once the team is announced, you are either vindicated or amused. And when the player, who was not in your frame goes on to play a stellar role for the country, you inwardly congratulate the selectors for their foresight and knowledge.

Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.
